I don't mind the pre-flop raise, although I'd proabably raise a little more. You're just inviting people to play Q6 against you.

Exactly. I mean, talk about your implied odds. If he wins, then he wins the whole pot.

well for starters he's putting in 1233 and you're putting in 3625 so he's getting about 3:1 odds right there plus the dead money from the other guy you've got to play the hand.

When you add all that stuff up he's getting like 9:1 on his money for pete's sake. Plus, a hand like Q6o makes EIGHT different possible straights, while a hand like KK makes a lousy two. That makes him a 75% to 1 overdog when it comes to straights!
